The Game
Just Joe
But by the third inning, Shimkus starts to look gassed, and GOP manager Joe Barton of Texas makes the controversial call to take him out of the game. And remember, the GOP's reserve pitcher had just taken himself out of the roster the day before. https://t.co/xtB5a5AByG

Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President
Candice Millard
I mean Hamlin remaining on the 1864 GOP ticket probably has to be #1 given the knock-on effects of a milquetoast start to Reconstruction under Johnson. But reading Candice Millard’s “Destiny of the Republic” has truly Garfield-pilled me. Had he not been assassinated… https://t.co/KiLNgtVpSe

How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States
Daniel Immerwahr
With Puerto Rico in the news, it’s as good a time as any to read @dimmerwahr’s great book “How to Hide an Empire.” It’s eye-opening, funny, tragic, and quick to get through — and tells a story that’s been criminally overlooked in our history. https://t.co/Qx6wPWAOfU

Beloved: Pulitzer Prize Winner
Toni Morrison
"Such efforts always rest on stripping away artistic and moral context, reducing a book to a few isolated passages and then encouraging listeners to make a visceral, uninformed judgment." Insightful from @RonCharles (aka my AP English teacher's husband) https://t.co/7PShxwn1HB
